Lake Mirror Classic
Judging
How we recognize excellence across the weekend: friendly, impartial judging at the Saturday Downtown Open Car Show, and a distinguished chief judge for the Concours d'Elegance.
Downtown Open Car Show judging
The Saturday Downtown Open Car Show awards are presented during the event.
More than 80 winners receive ribbons. These show the team of judges recognize excellence and appreciate your unique vehicle.
The Lake Mirror Classic also presents three special awards chosen by celebrity judges.
Judging is informal by a team of Lake Mirror Classic volunteers. Judges recuse themselves for any club vehicles they are members or individuals they personally know.
